ICE CREAM SHOP, CINEMA VANDALIZED

A 23-year-old Bluffton woman was arrested early Friday morning after she allegedly broke into a vacant business within Berkeley Place and then threw a patio chair through a glass door of Sea Turtle Cinema, the Bluffton Police Department reported.

Tiffany Brooke Fender of May River Road was charged with two counts of second-degree burglary.

Officers went to the plaza around 4:30 a.m. and found the glass door to the movie theater shattered, police said. They found Fender in the lobby. The inside of a vacant business, once occupied by Coneman’s ice cream shop, was vandalized. The amount of damage at the former ice cream shop is still being assessed, police said. The broken glass door was the only damage reported at the movie theater.

The motive behind her behavior is still being investigated, police said.
